Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a dielectric coating and how does it protect batteries?
A dielectric coating is a non-conductive layer applied to battery components to prevent electrical discharge and thermal events. It acts as an insulator, preventing short circuits and overheating, which helps protect the battery from potential failures, fires, or explosions.
-
Are dielectric coatings resistant to high temperatures?
Yes, dielectric coatings are designed to withstand high temperatures, providing protection against thermal events and helping to prevent overheating, which is crucial in high-performance applications such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
-
How do dielectric coatings compare to epoxy or powder coatings?
Dielectric coatings like those in the H.B. Fuller EV Protect and Therm product families are superior to epoxy heat cure coatings and powder coatings for a variety of reasons. They require fewer coats, have higher scratch resistance and are 100% reworkable which can lead to less scrap of cooling plates. Since they are ultra-violet light cured instead of heat cured, they improve cycle time and reduce energy consumption.
